ICD-10-PCS 0HX Medical and Surgical: Skin and Breast Transfer
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Transfer (code 0HX) refers to moving skin from one site to another within the Medical and Surgical section. This operation specifically relates to the Skin and Breast body system and involves relocating tissue without detaching it completely or removing it.
Examples of this operation include the transfer of skin across various body parts using an External Approach. For instance, codes such as 0HX0XZZ signify the transfer of Scalp Skin, while 0HX1XZZ denotes the transfer of Face Skin. Similarly, the operation can be performed on the Right Ear Skin (0HX2XZZ), Neck Skin (0HX4XZZ), and Upper and Lower Extremity Skin like the Right Upper Arm (0HXBXZZ) or Left Lower Leg (0HXLXZZ). These codes help accurately document the precise location and approach of skin tissue transfer, ensuring clear communication for treatment planning and billing.
